This article investigated the nursing experience of a young girl on peritoneal dialysis with end-stage renal failure who, due to limited kidney donors in Taiwan, were in preparation for ABO-incompatibility kidney transplantation with her mother as the donor. Because the blood type between the patient and her mother are incompatible, several sessions of a procedure of DFPP had been performed before kidney transplantation to reduce the titer of anti-RBC antibody. During the nursing period in the hemodialysis room between September 3 and September 10, 2012, the author utilized Watson's caring theory as a guideline and performed a comprehensive assessment. The identified health issues were fear, risk of infection, and caregiver role strain. The author assumed the role of a counselor and instructor to the patient during the nursing period, facilitating psychological adaptation, providing individualized care to ease the patient's fear and prevent infection. The patient's mother, the primary caregiver, used acquired stress-relieve skills to ease stress and anxiety. The patient eventually completed the therapeutic session and accepted the kidney transplantation. |
